2014 ML350 2w, 2017 GLS550, 1967 Pontiac GTO 4 sp


70 year old elderly juvenile delinquent. Traded in a '13 Durango Hemi R/T for a '14 GL450 CPO. Wife got a '14 ML350 CPO last year. It was kinda like "get off of me". Instead it was "if you want an MB, go get one. Stay outta mine". Love the GL. The R/T had a sport suspension but I no longer have one. If I wanna shake things up I fire up the '67 GTO which I've had since 1994 (had another new in '67).

I traded my '13 Durango R/T for a '14 GL450 CPO. The Durango had 50K trouble free miles except for a water pump at 30k. Third row was considered usable by the adults who sat in it. Captains chairs in the second row allowed kids to step through to the third. Suspension was good but a little stiff, one of the reasons I succumbed to the floaty ride of the GL. The Durango's nav and touch screen way better than Comand, but no 360 deg camera which I am relying on more and more. Interesting comparison of the door seals. The D's seals allowed water to get onto the interior door jambs (but not into the car). Doesn't happen with the GL. 2 sets of seals. Engine performance and fuel economy about the same. Tire wear way better on the D than the GL. Goodyear Fortezas had 48K on them and still had lots of tread left. D had a full sized spare on a steel wheel under the car. But the thing I miss most about the D was the remote start. Worked from about 50 ft in. Made all my golf buddies jealous as we walked back to our hot cars in the parking lot.

This is the actual car I traded. Started out at $28,480 in Aug. Now down to $24,230. Got $23,200 for it in trade for the GL. The GL is our second CPO. Bought a '14 ML350 for the wifey last year. One word of advice. The options on CPO's seem to be very much depreciated. So look for the highest optioned car you can find, as mileage and age seem to be the deciding factor for pricing. Hard to find highly optioned cars since so many were leases.
